All posts from Benjamin Worthen

Benjamin Worthen is a gunsmith of almost 20 years, with 10+ years of experience training special groups and law enforcement teams on weapons integration for areas requiring new weapons and a long history as an expert witness in litigation and high profile cases on ballistics and weapons. He currently runs a company focused on risk management for domestic companies operating in war torn countries, helping these companies to set up security teams and protocols to avoid major issues with rogue militant groups, terrorists, and other such entities. He has shot every mainstream production gun on the planet (with the exception of very few) and has made custom AR-15′s, military rebuilds, and other customs like raceguns/race wheelguns, not to mention working in southern California as a supplier and contract provider to 12 different SWAT and law enforcement groups as the head of a family business located there (since 1958) for the last 12 years. His design work has been part of several designs which have been adopted by the military and major channels of Law Enforcement and he has worked with some of the most impressive teams in development for such items-including suppressors, add-ons and composite material weapons and accessories. His goal is to educate those who want to learn, and help bring about a revolution in the way firearms information is distributed, from the tired and incomplete to the comprehensive and usable. He is the head editor of this website, www.netgunsmith.com
